PAPER MAKING an BAND.

Methods Of Manufacture Employed Be-
fore h Invention Of Machinery.
Hand making of paper wa formerly
practiced in all countries, but is now
almost wholly abandoned for the use Of
machinery. The substance to be used,
rags. bark or the like, is first reduced
by water and heating to a fine, smooth
pulp. The workman then takes his
mold, which is a sheet of network at
tached to a frame. Usually two kinds
of molds are employed. In one the
wires are woven across each other, so
as to make a very fine gauze, and pa
per made with this mold is called
.'wove" paper. In the other the wires
are wider apart, the transverse ones
being about twenty to the inch, and
the longitudinal ones a little more than
an inch apart Paper made with these
molds is termed '.laid" paper. With
both molds a deckle is used, which is
a thin frame corresponding exactly to
the size of the mold. The workman
first puts the deckle on the mold, and
then dips both into the pulp; the deckle
forms a ridge which retains just enough
of the liquid pulp for the sheet of pa
per. When the water of the pulp has
completely drained through the wire
gauze, the face Of the sheet is applied
to a piece of felt stretched on a board
called the couch. and pressed. The
pressure causes the sheet to leave the
mold and adhere to the couch. Each
successive sheet is treated in the same
way, and all are piled together with q
sheet of felt upon each, and the piles,
when they contain several quires each,
are put n by n in a powerful press
When taken out of this the pieces Of
felt are removed and the sheets of paper
are hung up in the drying loft When
thoroughly dried they are put into hot
size, then pressed again and glazed by
being passed through hot rollers Of
| polished iron or steel. The sheets are
then folded and made into quires.-

NOODLES FOR SOUP.


The Proper Way of Preparing, Rolling and
Cutting the Paste.
The German noodles are very easily
made and much better than they can
be bought Beat one egg with a pinch
of salt, stir into it as much -four, well
dried, as will make a stiff, elastic paste:
it must be very stiff but not hard. Roll
this out as thin as paper on a board,
then lay a clean double cloth on the
board and the paste upon it. Now roll
again and when it is thin as you can
make it leave it ten minutes to dry.
Cut the sheet in half, and roll up one
portion closely, then with a sharp
knife cut this roll through at intervals
of the third of an inch. It will now
form strips like tape, which must be
tossed with a fork to separate them.
These may be used fresh Or dried in a
very cool oven and kept in bottles.
Anovel kind of noodle may be made
from the same paste. Fold the half
you were directed to leave, roll it
slightly and then out of the double
paste cut little disks, either with a top
of a thimble, or a small cylinder not
larger than . dime. Have some smok-
ing hot fat in a small saucepan and
drop these disks into it. They will inn
mediately swell into balls and should
only be allowed to color very slightly.
Take them up with a skinner and
drain them on paper. These will keep
a week and are ready to add to the
soup at any time.-Caherine Queen, in

1t is said that the horses stomach
has a capacity of only 16 quarts, while
that of the OK has capacity for 25C

The horse, therefore, feeds often and

The Peculiar State of England's Social Sys-
tom ut the Present Day.
The usual retort, when women conn.
plain of want Of ~remunerative employ.
ment, is that they should not work,
but find men to support them. As
there are 100000 more women than
men in England, it is obviously impos-
sible that every woman should have a
husband. This state of things is as
bad in Germany also. TIE preponder-
ance of the women over the men is
greatest in the professional and upper
middle classes. Among the richer
~aristocracy of England, and the abso-
lutely working people, the exc are
still equal in number, and women can
still marry. But the sons of clergymen,
officers, civil servants, lawyers, doctors
and some of the country gentry find
the struggle for existence too great in
this kingdom; they emigrate, or leave
the country by joining the military
or naval service. Their sisters all re.
main at home. unable to find husbands,
and uneducated for work, even do
nestle work. These '.superfuous
women" most undoubtedly, as a body,

Of marriage r almost NIL; therefore,
should a solitary sutton with even a
modest competency appear, they feel
driven to accept the first man who
asks them, whether they care for him
OF not, and most generally they do
not. Their parents wish to get rid Of
them, 50 they marry without love. An
evil arises out of this, more CHASTITY
than can be described. The marriage
of conpenance is a recognized social
institution abroad. In England, in
this nineteenth century, the
women of the upper mid
die classes adopt it without acknowl.
edging it. However we may affect to
deny 1t, there is a vast amount of mar
ried unhappiness in all classes. The
fault is sometimes ascribed to the
present d~egeneracy of women and
sometimes to the deterioration of the
men. The fact really lies in our social
system, which gives a woman neither
work o money and obliges her to sell
herself before she has lost her only
saleable commodities youth and
beauty. As there exists four ..super-
fiuous women to one man. the female
has no choice, while the lordly male
has the greater number from whom to
pick and choose. Therefore, in this

Edward Herrick, a street-car con-

to solder a hole in his wife's wash
boiler, and used what he supposed to
be an old solder-iron that had lain
around the house for years. He put
the iron in the fire, and was scraping
the rust from the boiler when there
was an explosion that scattered the
stove in all directions and set fire to
the house. Herrick has learned since
that the supposed soldering-iron WAS a
railroad torpedo.

pound eyes, in addition, are supposed.
and with good reason, to have the
power of magnifying; and a comical

Equally unmistakable evidences of
design are found in the sharpness of
sight accorded to some creatures, and
the deficiency in others. Sir John Lub-
book has shown us how the exception
ally intelligent ant race depends en-
tirely on the sense of smell as a guide
to its movement, and that so effectual
and unerring is the sense of smell, that
sight is scarcely needed; and that, in
fact, the workers have in most cases no
vision at all, though they are descended
from flying insects with highly devel-

oped to such an extent as to render
sight a useless adjunct, and where,
through accident or otherwise, the an

Mr.. CleveIand's Nerve.
Inspector Byrnes Tells a Story about
the Presidents Goodness.
IFrom tle washlngton Post.l

From the Washington Post.l
New YORK, October 16.-I asked
Inspector Byrncs the other day
whether, in his opinion, President
Cleveland was exposed to any serious
danger from attack by Anarchists or
cranks of other sorts, during his
travels. The Inspector expressed
the utmost confidence that the Presi-
dent vas all right, and that his safe
ty would be assured. AS TO the
means to this end the Inspector de-
clined to be interviewed on the
ground that he didn't know anything
aboutit, and Furthermore he wouldn't
tell. 1t was comforting. to know
that so deeply experienced a detec-
tive as the Inspector had no fears
for the Nations Chief, hut he tenn
pered his opinion somewhat by say
ing that he did not know of any ase
where police protection had saved a
President from harm. Whenever
anybody has gone for a President"
said the Inspector, laconically,
g they've got him"
Then shifting the subject with that
dexterity which makes the Inspector
n very hard man to interview, he
said Mr.. Cleveland isn't afraid of
cranks I; he's n man of nerve. / saw
him once in a position where, I be-
lieve, he vas the only man that was
not frightened or startled, to say the
least. 1t was just before his inaugura-
ton, and lie was leaving New York
on a train out of the Grand Central
Depot. He stood on the rear plat
form bowling to the crowd. L was
standing quite near him, though l
was not on the train. Just as it be-
gan to move there was q loud explo-
sion somewhere in the immediate vi
entity of Mr.. Cleveland. It is safe
to say that everybody in the crowd
jumped, except the President-elect.
He did not move n muscle, though
the report was right under his feet.
He stood with his hand resting on the
railing of the car, not clasping it, but
just lying there. Now l have oh
served that when n man is startled,
if he has hold of anything he will grip
it tighter, but if his hand simply lies
loose he will draw it toward him.
This is human nature. Mr.. Cleve-
lands hand did not move at all, and
he went on smiling just the same
Then the crowd found out that there
hadn't been any dynamite explosion
it was a large railroad torpedo that
had been placed on the rail between
the wheels of the ear for the purpose
of lending a sort of Fourth Of July

was something fearful. Since then
